In this short but HY podcast, I describe the mechanisms and classic pathologies tested on the USMLE exams in the context of iron labs. If you digest the material from this podcast, you’ll essentially never have to memorize how labs change in many of the anemias. They’ll just intuitively make perfect sense. I also clear up a lot of confusing concepts for students. Definitely HY for Step 1-3. There are no attached slides.

In this episode, I discuss all the HY testable material related to transfusion reactions for the USMLE Step 1, 2CK, and 3 exams. This is a short podcast but extremely HY for all these aforementioned exams. Pls listen to these ahead of these exams (they are very well represented). I go into pathophysiology, classic presentations, and treatments. There are no attached slides.
Divine Intervention Episode 207 – The USMLE And Geriatrics Part 1.
In this episode, I discuss a large variety of HY geriatric topics that the USMLE expects you to know (falls, ADLs, depression, pressure ulcers, incontinence, cognition, and others).
